I'm sorry I didn't notice your addendum to the posting where you suggested I un-bunch my panties...

In the US, and likewise here in Canada, we have very strict regulations pertaining to the use of these "chemicals." However, my original question was pertaining to (and related to) a Spanish wine.

I have to agree with you that, for the most part, I don't have any problems, whatsoever, in drinking wines from the US or Canada. France, Australia, Italy, and Germany would also fall into that category.

Do you happen to know whether the regulations in Spain are as stringent as ours? The same question would apply to Chile and Argentina as well.
